Melbourne Storm's win in Townsville was a new high-water mark in their impressive NRL season but skipper Cameron Smith says they're yet to deliver their best.

Smith and halfback Cooper Cronk are just resuming full-time duties at the second-placed Storm after the Origin period and Smith feels it will bring added cohesion in attack.

"We're really looking forward to getting back with the squad now full time ... we've got a tough run home. We need to be playing our best every week to win those matches and Cooper and I need to be playing well."
